BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The workspace of a computer system typically has some clutter. For example, cables, pens, paper, headphones, and other articles may lay about the workspace.

[0002] In addition, computer system distribution companies desire to brand, or to develop loyalty to, their services to users, without designing the computer systems which they distribute.

[0003] To date, there are no items which both help to organize the workspace of a computer system while also branding the services of the computer system distribution company which distributed the computer system.

[0004] Therefore, a cable routing tag apparatus for organizing a physical workspace of a computer system is needed.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0005] The present invention provides a cable routing tag apparatus for organizing a physical workspace of a computer system. A cable routing tag apparatus for organizing a physical workspace of a computer system, including the following:

[0006] a backing;

[0007] a fabric attached to the backing;

[0008] an attachment loop attached to the fabric;

[0009] a bend point;

[0010] an attachment hook;

[0011] a internal loop attached to the backing; and

[0012] an internal hook attached to the backing.
